Remedy - a Sci-fi Romance (Aopato Chronicles) (Volume 2) Margaret Afseth

For the better part of her working career Ziva had been behind a monitor yet now that she is about to retire, her employer wants her to go out into the field. It isn't enough to simply rock her comfort zone, but they have paired her with an obnoxious, manipulative operative with an agenda of her own. Ziva and Darla are not the only two answering the unconventional add, but they are inadvertently among the ten chosen as acceptable. Crystal meets her match as she is perched precariously over a river wall; Jenna is a penniless pauper, and Angel has just been evicted. Karine and May Lin live on the streets, while Carmen has spent some time in a mental institution. Then we have Chantel a paraplegic ex-military cook; Morgan is a disgraced cop. Their suitability is even more in question when you realize their ages range from twenty-five to eighty. What are the 'Aopato' up to now? Are these women really only companions for the females? Is there an ulterior motive behind the choosing, or is the international spy agency right: these are the vangard;potential terrorists? Perhaps this effort is simply one of compassion toward the less fortunate? As Sonia and her guardians assist others are they harming their own? Will love conquer once again, or will this be the end of the invisible people?
